When I need to feed all five of us the same dinner chicken soup is about the only thing I know everybody will happily eat. And when I've run out in the freezer the next best thing is my chicken in a pot.

Super nourishing, so versatile and dead simple. The leftover chicken can be used in sandwiches the next day or for a chicken salad. My kids like their soup served plain with chicken rice and fresh peas or with tiny chicken meatballs. Made differently for the fussy and not so fussy.

Roughly chop your veg and stick them and your chicken in a pot, cover with water and then the lid and into an oven at somewhere between 120c - 150c for 3-4 hours. The lower the temp the longer i cook. Sometimes I'll put it in just before bed and leave it on 90c overnight till I wake in the morning.

Serve the clear soup with the falling apart chicken, any veg you can salvage from the soup and a sprinkling of freshly podded raw peas (when in season) and a drizzle of best extra virgin olive oil.

and chopped chilli as much or as little as you like - remembering the longer the chilli the milder the chilli

a good pinch of salt

Simply bring your clear soup to a boil and plop the teaspoonfuls of chicken mixture into the bubbling soup and in a minute or two they will rise to the top and ready to eat.

The mixture makes a lot, so depending on how many you're feeding you might want to freeze some of the uncooked mixture for the next time you defrost a soup.

Of course there's a thousand other things you can make with a stock, these are the two we eat most frequently with ours. And really I couldn't think of anything better to nourish our bellies.

Use the best ingredients you can afford. Try and only buy organic, local, ethically treated, pasture fed produce. Most importantly buy in season, that way you will get maximum flavour and goodness for a lesser cost.

Th choices we make for the most precious people in our lives now, will benefit their health in the future!

Some would say I'm bordering on obsessed, possibly bossy when it comes to my food choices and feeding of my family - I call it committed! Committed to having a healthier happier life and helping my kids make good food choices now and in the future. We are a 6 being family. My boyfriend Max (a photographer), our kids and our dog Mazzy. Like most families there are a million and two after school activities. Our life is chaotic.But despite this I feel we shouldn't neglect what we put into our bodies least of all our children's. I want my kids to eat as much unprocessed food as humanly possible, I want to show you how to do it. That is, how to feed a family super delicious healthy food. Lessons we teach them now will be with them forever.
